Sequence Analysis for Meaningful Sentence Formation

The task is to arrange the given phrases (A), (B), (C), and (D) into a coherent and meaningful sentence.

  • Phrase (D): 'she worked on the case' - This phrase introduces the subject and action, logically starting the sentence.
  • Phrase (A): 'for seven hours but was hardly' - This phrase adds details about the duration and introduces a contrast. It logically follows the action.
  • Phrase (C): 'able to decide who the murderer was' - This phrase completes the contrast introduced in (A), stating the result or lack thereof.
  • Phrase (B): 'because of the absence of any motivation' - This phrase provides the reason for the inability stated in (C), logically concluding the sentence.

Constructing the Sentence

Combining the phrases in the identified logical order results in the following sequence:

  1. (D) she worked on the case
  2. (A) for seven hours but was hardly
  3. (C) able to decide who the murderer was
  4. (B) because of the absence of any motivation

This sequence forms the meaningful sentence: "She worked on the case for seven hours but was hardly able to decide who the murderer was because of the absence of any motivation."

Therefore, the correct sequence is (D), (A), (C), (B).
